Kanpur, Oct 5 (IANS): In a bizarre case, a farmer in Kanpur took two goats to the police station for entering his field and eating his marigold flowers.

According to Shailendra Nishad, several goats had entered his field but he managed to catch only two.

The incident took place in the Gauri Kakra village of the Bhitargaon block where farmers cultivate flowers.

Shailendra Nishad had been noticing that his flowers were going missing from the field. Two days ago, he sat behind a tree in his field, hoping to catch the thieves.

Towards the evening, he discovered that four to five goats had invaded his land from one side and devoured the flowers.

He tried to catch the goats but could manage to get only two of them.

He went straight to the road, got an auto, loaded them into the vehicle and arrived at the police station.

The policemen were astounded to witness the man with the goats and shocked to learn the reason behind his visit.

“They (goats) quietly gorge on my flowers every day due to which I am suffering a lot of financial loss. However, the owner of the goats does not pay any attention to them. Therefore, I caught these goats and have brought them here,” he said.

Police Inspector Pramod Kumar said that the goats belonged to a girl in the village.

She has been warned to keep the goats tied so that they do not enter fields and damage crops.

The matter was resolved and no First Information Report was submitted by Nishad.
